[Page] 19County of Renfrew Parish of Inchinnan
"The palace of Inchinnan, referred to in the historical notices, stood near
the Site of the farmsteading of Garnaland, on the north side of the parish,
and looking toward the Clyde. It was built by Matthew, Earl of Lennox, in
the year 1506. When Crawford wrote his history of the Shire of Renfrew,
there were "Some considerable remains of it." Persons still in life recollect
having seen a portion of the ruins, which, however, having been found to contain
Some good materials for building,were, in the absence of the laird, condemned
to contribute their share of a gable to the farm-house adjacent."
